Message: [QUOTE="husky429, post: 4720842, member: 6696"] D2 has actual scholarships. D3 puts together financial aid packages. Better packages for the better players and for big sports like football or basketball. Basketball players I know seem to get around 50% off tuition, but more at the really wealthy NECSAC schools (Like Amherst). Still ends up being super expensive though for most kids. Many pay way more than UConn would be in-state. Thinking of D3 sports aid as "scholarships" is probably bad juju. An actual D1 or D2 scholarship covers tuition, room, board, food... all of it. D3 isn't even covering tuition for most athletes. Poor kids are still going to struggle to afford it. The sports teams at NECSAC schools are loaded with kids who had wealthier parents and decided they wanted to play college sports and pay out of pocket whatever aid doesn't cover. [/QUOTE]
